Location:

Much like Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, the badlands here come alive with the warm light of early morning or late evening. By the summer solstice the prairie grasslands have greened up and wildflowers begin to pop. Dramatic thunderstorms can roll through creating dynamic landscape opportunities. There is also a variety of prairie wildlife to photograph such as bison, prairie dogs, pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep will have newborn lambs. 

Outside of the park boundary is also worth exploring as there are old granaries and ghost towns on the vast high plains that make great subjects. You don’t want to miss this special class!

Expect any kind of weather, it can be mild or sudden thunderstorm systems can bring high winds and rain. Though most of our locations are near the roadway, please note there will be hiking on trails involved to access some the locations. Expect less than 2 miles with some elevation gain. Bring appropriate clothing and footwear (good hiking boots). 

EQUIPMENT SUGGESTIONS: A sturdy tripod is a necessity for good landscapes. Participants should have a working knowledge of their equipment (know which button does what!) before the workshop. You will have ample opportunity to use most of the lens in your equipment bag for this special tour. I suggest a SLR camera with a wide-angle lens (17-35mm range) for beach scenics and a telephoto lens up to 100-500 +mm for isolating waves and birding opportunities.
